9. Easier Access
Try to leave an aisle down the center of the storage unit for easier access. Leave a small space between the walls and boxes to allow for air circulation.

10. Stack
Stack heavier boxes on the bottom and lighter boxes on top.

11. Strong Boxes
Be sure your boxes are strong enough to hold 25-30 pounds (although we suggest not putting too much in each box).

12. List Contents
List contents of boxes on all four sides; number the boxes and seal with tape.

13. Wrap It Up
Dishes and glasses should be wrapped in paper and packed in sturdy boxes. Stack them on top.

14. Fragile
Pictures and mirrors should be wrapped in cardboard, marked “FRAGILE” and stacked on end.

15. Extra Space
Furniture with drawers can be utilized as storage places for pictures, knick-knacks, china, silverware, small items, etc. Wrap them in tablecloths, towels, or blankets to prevent breakage.
